Volume 1: The Girl and the White Dragon Chapter 33: The decisive battle begins
"Let's go..."
With a wave of his right hand, Assadi returned the flywheel to the fragment of the rattan armor thrower to his arm.
"Hiss~"
The Spirit Devouring Python responded by spitting out the snake letter and put down the stone statue that was tightly entangled by itself, and the burly stone statue completely fell apart the moment the python loosened its strength, turning into a pile of stones.
"Huh?"
Asadi, who was about to move on, suddenly felt a movement behind him, and looked back to find the sword-wielding puppet lying on the ground trying to pick up the broken sword in the hands of his squashed companion.
Airplanes!!
Flywheel lunged at the sword-wielding golem, slicing its remaining body in two.
"Okay, let's go!"
Calm returned, and Assadi patted the dust off his shoulder armor and followed the python leading the way over the stump of the castle guards that had not moved.
The main fort of Lanyer, inside the emergency passage on the fifth floor.
Definitely, by all means, we must catch up!
Chrissy, whose forehead was covered with sweat, ran as fast as she could towards the passage to the lower level with the blessing of [Light Feet].
The laboratory is on the third floor, and the enemy has already broken through the second layer, and he has to rush from the fifth floor to the third floor, leaving Chrissy with extremely short time.
Dolma is different from ordinary puppets, Dolma will emit simulated rhythms, and even have heartbeat-like movements, which is designed to not make the other party feel abnormal when interacting with normal people.
However, this also makes Dolma not considered dead in the enemy's perception range, which means that Dolma with signs of life will be found.
Now Dolma is dormant in the charging tank, and although the outside of the laboratory has a certain defensive ability, it is not difficult to force it into with the strength of those two invaders.
Dolma had already met with them, and those guys would never let her go. And even if Dolma can be awakened by the crisis, it is impossible to deal with the two enemies of the snake controller and the master of the weapon at the same time.
"Hurry!"
Chrissy was already out of breath, and the staircase to the fourth floor was close in sight, but the uneasiness in her heart was growing stronger.
As she reached the middle of the fourth-story corridor, Chrissy suddenly lost her center of gravity and fell forward, but fortunately she grabbed the handrail and did not roll up the stairs.
In addition to the reason for the excessive speed, the long skirt of the pajamas restricts the movement of the legs.
"Damn!
Sting!
Chrissy tore the hem of her skirt with both hands, then jumped down the stairs with the handrails, and directly crossed more than a dozen stone steps to the fourth floor.
This quick way to go downstairs has not been used by Chrissy for a long time. Because the last time Chrissy used this method to naughtily go downstairs to seek excitement, she accidentally bumped into Dolma.
This magic puppet, who had always been lukewarm, suddenly became furious when he saw this, and lectured at Chrissy.
Chrissy also understood that Zhuoma, who usually likes to joke with herself, was really angry this time, and she was rarely obedient, so she never used this way to go downstairs again, but obediently walked down step by step.
Now she suddenly jumped from a height and felt her knees tingle when she landed, but Chrissy didn't have time to rest and continued to walk briskly to the third floor of the castle.
Hiss~
Hiss~
Two poisonous snakes spitting snake letters lay across Chrissy's path.
"Get out of the way!!"
Chrissy, who was running wildly, swung two wind blades with both hands and slashed at the two poisonous snakes, and the vipers reacted quickly, and they immediately dodged to the side, leaving only two regular cuts in the floor tiles.
Despite failing to kill the viper, a path large enough for Chrissy to pass appears through.
Her long black hair was blown by the whistling wind in her ears, and Chrissy quickly leaned over and passed between the two snakes. The two vipers did not judge that Chrissy would lower her body, causing the two vipers to fail to attack.
"Huh!
Chrissy left two bewildered vipers behind and ran towards the passage to the third floor.
The appearance of poisonous snakes here also means that the beast controller has almost explored the entire castle, and the other party is likely to have explored the location of the laboratory, and the familiarity with the terrain that he relies on may not be of much use.
The situation is extremely unfavorable, Chrissy is unsure if she will be able to open the lab before the two killers arrive, and even she is unsure if she will have a chance to escape after rescuing Dolma.
But Chrissy had no choice, she never thought about how she could live without Dolma by her side.
Almost every day, Dolma wakes himself up, almost every day Dolma has a boring idle with himself, and almost every day Dolma and himself say goodnight to each other.
She can't afford to lose Dolma, and after Dolma fell down in the past two days, Chrissy, who has experienced the taste of not having Dolma's company, understands Dolma's importance to herself even more.
Dolma is like the air around her, and Dolma doesn't even appear in her sight on weekdays, but Dolma is absolutely indispensable.
Because......
She's my family!
[Information that can be disclosed at present]
Character: Dolma
Chrissy has no real family, and her parents didn't know where they went while Chrissy was babbling.
So much so that Chrissy can only understand these two blood relatives who are the most important blood relatives in her life through the portraits and diaries of the two, combined with her own extremely vague memories of them.
And Dolma is the magic puppet left by her parents to take care of her, of course, it is not accurate to say that her parents left her.
Dolma is a special creation of magic and alchemy left behind by Chrissy's great-grandmother, as she calls "grandmother".
For more than 200 years, Dolma has been working tirelessly to take care of the descendants of the Lanyeer family, and it is even more important to Chriss.
Although Dolma is not human, she or "she" is Chrissy's closest "person", basically equivalent to her adoptive mother.
Although Dolma does not have the concept of longevity, her body is still old. Due to the extremely advanced parts on her body, except for Plama's own alchemy laboratory, which may be recreated, other alchemy workshops have no original effect even if they are custom-made.
More than two hundred years have passed, and Dolma's core components still cannot be replaced by other alchemy parts, which means that Dolma will one day completely lose his mobility.
And that time won't be too far off.
The acid spill: Chrissy still remembers the scene.
It was a sunny day, and Chrissy was in a good mood, and she wanted to practice drawing runes for the first time in a long time. The jade needed to draw runes needed strong acid to corrode the surface, so she went to extract the strong acid stored in the large glass jar in the laboratory as a drawing potion.
As a result, the outer layer of the glass canister, which is responsible for outputting the strong acid mist inside into liquid, was bitten by a rat at some point, causing the safety plug in the output port to be closed.
However, Chrissy, who had forgotten about the safety matters, did not notice the problem, and after unscrewing the valve of the container, she did not see a strong acid solution in the glassware at the outlet, and she thought that it was too long to block it, so she screwed the valve to the maximum.
As a result, a moment later, she heard a loud "bang" explosion, and a dark green thick acid fog poured out of the container uncontrollably.
The terrifying thick acid fog quickly blocked Chriss's escape from the lab, and it was Dolma who heard her own cries for help huddled in the corner of the lab, and rushed to the thick acid fog as thick as ink to close the valve before the fog spread to the entire lab.
When he came out of the thick fog, most of Dolma's artificial skin had been corroded, and later the skin on his body had to be discarded in order to prevent the spread of strong acid from damaging Dolma's internal components.
That was Dolma's last artificial skin, and after losing the protection of the artificial skin, Dolma's body decayed at a noticeable rate.
